my learning styles

I took this neat test on howtolearn.com. It's a personal learning styles inventory. I found some of the statements hard to think about. I may need to revisit the site and take the test occasionally. My scores were:

31% - visual learner

40% - auditory learner

27% - kinesthetic learner

iknowthat.com

At InTech training, I am learning about many resources that will be helpful to me as a teacher. One of the websites that I was introduced to today was iknowthat.com. I think that this website would be a grea tool for me to use in my elementary classroom. I specifically looked at the math section and the language arts section.
I liked the math because it provided word problem exercises, but they were really fun because before the problems began, the viewer gets to watch a funny little movie. This is a GREAT hook to get kids interested and involved. I would specifically use this in the accomodations or adaptations of my lesson plans for remediation or enrichment or as a math center for students.
I also liked the phonics a lot. I could use the phonics tutorials in many ways. After introducing rimes or onsets to my students, I could do a whole group activity using the site if I had projector capabilities. It could also serve as remediation, enrichment, or as a center.
The material on this website could provide endless opportunities! I can't wait to surf it some more!

Classroom technology

With the use of technology, I envision my classroom changing much during my career as an educator. I feel that there are endless opportunities becoming available for us with rapidly growing technology. For example, using powerpoint and a projector, teachers may be able to give their students virtual “field trips” that will eliminate liability issues and allow students more frequent and safer experiences with content they are learning about in the classroom. I can imagine that during my career, teachers will have laptops for all students to complete work, smartboards will be in use in addition to the traditional board, and floppy disks, CD's, and flash drives may even take the place of paper!
It is obvious that our world is becoming more driven techonologically; therefore, it will be essential for students to learn all that they can and for us, as teachers, to teach them. In the future, I see the use of technology in the classroom as being unlimited!
